In recent years, one of the ways major game studios have attempted to gain an edge over their competitors has been through acquisitions. Microsoft trying to acquire Activision Blizzard is the most well-known example. But the deal with Xbox owners has been constantly hitting roadblocks. Now it looks like PlayStation has taken the page out of Microsoft’s playbook.

The Japanese company’s CFO claimed that the revenue gained is being invested in the purchase of live-service game studios. And they appear to be progressing at a rapid pace on that front as Sony has announced three studio acquisitions in the last 18 months.

PlayStation will be deciding the platforms on a case-to-case basis

After acquiring Bungie in January, Sony went on to buy Haven Studios and Firewalk Studios recently. Hermen Hulst (PlayStation CEO) discussed their ideas for the next Firewalk titles with GamesIndustry.Biz. Firewalk is developing a title for both the PS5 and the PC at the same time. Many companies keep live-service titles available on multiple platforms. When questioned if Sony would utilize the same method, Hulst seemed coy.

“We have made significant progress delivering games on PC in recent years, so where it makes sense for the game and the studio, it’s a great option to have,” the PlayStation CEO said, “But it’s a decision that we will make for each individual game,” he added.

This means that Sony will consider the platform selection for each title on a case-by-case basis. Sony would most likely retain titles that would attract a larger audience exclusive to its system.

Firewalk leaves ProbablyMonsters to join PS5 creators

Firewalk Studios was a part of ProbablyMonsters before being bought by Sony. ProbablyMonsters is an independent game production studio that is attempting to reinvent the game creation process.

Harold Ryan, CEO of ProbablyMonsters, has bid farewell to Firewalk and views this move as a significant step forward. “Firewalk joining the PlayStation Family is a step in our mission to bring new AAA game teams and new AAA IP to life,” he said. He also aims to invest in more AAA gaming studios in the future.
